Jan. 29.—The peace negotiations, which reached a deadlock overthe cession of Adrianople January 6.finally were broken today by a notewhich the plenipotentiaries of the Balkan allies presented to Reschld Pasha,head of the Turkish delegation.Notwithstanding this rupture, therestill are optimists in the diplomatic,world who hope a resumption of thewar yet may be averted, either through' fresh proposals that Turkey is reportedto be including in the note she willdeliver to the powers tomorrow orthrough the fall of Adrianople beforeactivities can be begun again at theTchatalja lines.FAILURE ONLY INTERLUDEA majority of the Balkan delegatesrefuse to admit the likelihood of eithercontingency, believing that the life ofthe Young Turk government dependsupon the resumption of the war even ifthe allies should be willing to postponethe conflict. They are of the opinionthat the present failure of diplomacy,at the worst, only is an interlude, however, for they will leave four representatives in London to undertake the settlement anew.Reschid Pasha, after receiving thenote, said:"The consequences may be of thegravest nature. The responsibility liesnot alone with the allies, but with thepowers, who encouraged the Balkanstates and have shown no fairnesstoward Turkey, although before .thewar they proclaimed solemnly tha principle of the unchangeability of thestatus quo."CONCENTRATE ON ADRIANOPLETho plan of the allied governments,so far, as the plenipotentiaries are informed, is to concentrate their forceson Adrianople immediately after theexpiration of the prescribed four days,if the surrender of that fortress doesnot occur in the meantime.
